I believe the spa shell is made of H.D.P.E

Does anyone know the best way to remove these white stains? There is some be the control panel and in the drink holders. It seems like it’s leftover after the water has evaporated. Thanks in advance.

I checked my TA and it is 80 ppm. So does that mean I should not add any Gentle Spa with it not being 50?

I just got done purging my hot tub and was going through and adjusting all the chemicals. I was reading in the how to use chlorine summary the it says to add ~50 ppm of Gentle Spa, which I have never done before but am app to try if it has good effects. I was just wondering if anyone else uses...

Just wondering what the proper CH level should be. In the how to use chlorine summary it says if below 100 raise to 150 otherwise may note of it. Just wondering if there is a sweet spot. That’s in advance.

I do not have any diverter valves to control water only two air valves. I do not use a mineral stick only chlorine. The tub is a 2018 Viking Legacy 2.

I just checked the gate valves and all are wide open with the plastic retainer in place to keep them open. My tub has one filter and it is brand new, no difference with this filter vs the old filter I replaced. No noticeable difference in volume with the filter removed vs being installed.

For a while now I have noticed that one side of the hot tub has low water volume. It seem that it’s about 1/2 what the other side is. The left side is a single speed pump which seems fine and the right side is a two speed pump, which on high doesn’t seem to have the kick it did before. The tub...

I have cleaned the filter twice. Wasn’t really dirty. I always swap filters once a week. I am using 12.5 liquid chlorine. Should I be using something else?

About a week ago we had 4 teenagers in the hot tub for a few hours. I didn’t add any chlorine before they got in (stupid me) after they got out I checked it and the FC was 0. I immediately brought it to shock level of 12. Next morning I had cloudy water. Over the next few days I have been...

Thank you all for the responses. Your help as always is greatly appreciated. One other question in that posted chart it says CH from 230 a 320 but on the “how to use chlorine” summary section it says to raise it to 150. Any thoughts on this since mine is at 120

That is what I thought but I wasn’t 100% sure. So this can be used to lower TA also? And what is the perfect number for a TA level

Tonight I checked all my levels. FC=2.5. CC =.5. PH = 7.8 (I believe it’s 7.8 hard to tell with compararator with the colors being so close but if I added 1 drop of the R005 it looks like it went to 7.6) CYA=35. TA = 100 and CH = 120. My question is to get the ph to 7.6 should I be lowering my...

Hi everyone, I just did a ahh some purge and refill. The tub is heating right now and I was wondering what the correct procedure is for balancing chemicals. Should I shock it first? If so, to what ppm. Or should I raise the FC to normal level with dichlor (using this while bringing up the cya...
